0:16Paras wants to say something to you.
0:25I'm sorry for that.
0:29It's okay.
0:34Please come, sir.
0:38-Goodbye. -Take good care of yourself.
0:59Excuse me.
1:02Now, start preparing to move back to the States.
1:05Dad, but...
1:06You saw exactly what happened,
1:09so I don't want any more arguments.
1:27Sikandar, I've sent you a name and CCTV footage.
1:31I need a thorough background check on this person,
1:33every detail from head to toe.
1:34Understood?
1:43Dad.
1:47Since I'm finally home,
1:48could you at least give me a proper welcome?
1:50Is any father ever truly upset with his only daughter?
1:53You started talking about sending me away the moment I arrived.
1:57How could any father be upset with his only daughter,
2:01especially when he loves her beyond measure?
2:04You are my entire world.
2:07But you have no idea what a heavy price your stubbornness could've cost us both.
2:11But nothing went wrong, right?
2:12I'm standing right here in front of you, safe and sound.
2:15It's not just you who loves me, Dad.
2:17I love you very much too,
2:20and I just want to stay here,
2:23at home with you peacefully.
2:26Good heavens, Paras. Come on.
2:29Why don't you understand? It's just a matter of a few more days.
2:35You've been parroting that line for years now.
2:38It's just a matter of a few days. It'll be over soon.
2:41This had better end, or I'll end up just like Mom.
2:46Why do you say such gut-wrenching things to hurt me?
2:49May you have my remaining years instead.
2:53Dad, you can't bear to be away from the person you love for even a second.
2:58That's exactly how I feel about you.
3:00Every moment away from you is pure torment.
3:03But you're just reciting scripted lines to me now.
3:07You're comfortable here, living a life free of your responsibilities.
3:15Me? Leading a comfortable life?
3:17Yes, you are. Tell me something.
3:21Tell me, have you ever stayed up talking to my picture at night?
3:24Have you ever spent a single restless night worried about me?
3:26Have you ever skipped your favorite breakfast
3:28or squabbled with your friends?
3:31Have you ever skipped a meeting
3:32because you were worried about me?
3:34Have you ever upset your friends over me?
3:35All these years, you’ve been absent for my birthdays.
3:37You weren't there to celebrate with me,
3:38and I never even got to share a slice of cake with you.
3:39Have you ever felt a pang of guilt about missing so much of my life?
3:41No, you haven't.
3:42I'm the one who endures all of that, Dad. I'm the one.
3:50Think of how many lectures I've skipped for you.
3:52I’ve even skipped breakfast made by Aunt Mahrukh
3:55and picked fights with friends for no reason.
3:59I'm constantly worried about you.
4:01Imagine having a father who is very much alive,
4:04yet only being able to talk to his photographs.
4:05Complaining to them, making demands...
4:07is that normal, Dad?
4:13You know, Paras,
4:17you're everything to me.
4:23I just don't want to lose you the way I lost Saleha.
4:29Dad, death is not always brought by the hand of an enemy.
4:35Just think,
4:36if I were to pass away in America, what would you even be able to do then?
4:40Don't ever say that.
4:44May you live a long and blessed life.
4:46I never want anything to happen to you, Paras.
4:49Then please understand, Dad.
4:51Our time together is precious,
4:53and we shouldn't waste it.
4:56Since Mom passed away,
4:57every day I've dreamed of the moment you and I would be together
5:00and share this moment.
5:02These moments are so precious, Dad.
5:18Now don't cry,
5:20or you'll have me in tears too.
5:23Fine.
5:24If you still want me to go back to America, then I will.
5:28I'll do exactly as you wish.
5:29But you have to leave everything here and come back with me,
5:32because I don't want anything in this world but you.
5:36I need you. Please, come with me.
5:41Please.
5:44Hey, no more tears now.
5:57They're right when they say
6:00the savior is far mightier than the slayer.
6:04I'm just relieved you're home safe and sound, my dear.
6:09But my mind won't be at peace
6:13until I find out who's behind all of this.
6:18I won't rest until I know the truth.
6:25Brother, I think whoever it was,
6:29they were far better informed than you.
6:33They knew exactly when Paras would be arriving.
6:43Dad has absolutely no brains.
6:48Saying something like this will put the spotlight right on us.
6:52He's going to get us killed.
6:59I think you're absolutely right.
7:02I was so consumed with getting Paras home safely
7:05that it didn't even cross my mind.
7:09This could be an inside job.
7:21I'll have Sikandar look into it.
7:25Paras, please,
7:27until then, you're not to step foot outside this house.
7:30Does that mean I'm not going back to the States?
7:33You won't send me now?
7:35Paras, please. I'm not in the mood for an argument.
7:39You have to go to the States eventually.
7:47Why Sikandar, Brother?
7:51In a situation like this,
7:54I don't think it's wise to trust an outsider.
7:57Aftab is right here.
8:06My son will handle everything.
8:08He'll look into it.
8:11Brother, Shaheen is right.
8:15We should all act as if we've put this behind us since Paras's return,
8:22but quietly, Aftab can keep investigating.
8:26Don't you worry, Brother.
8:27Everything will turn out fine.
8:32Rest assured, Uncle.
8:34You don't need to worry about a thing.
8:36I'll take care of your enemies and Paras as well.
8:44You'd better take care of yourself first,
8:45then make grand claims about taking care of me.
8:51You really are something, Paras.
8:53Always joking.
8:56Since Uncle has said there's no need for you to leave the house,
9:01it doesn't mean you have to stay cooped up inside.
9:04You could at least join me for a stroll on the lawn, right?
9:09What do you say?
9:12Yes, Paras, go on, dear. Go take a look.
9:14You know, Brother has had the entire backyard renovated.
9:20Go see for yourself.
9:21Really? He never mentioned it,
9:23and I haven't had the chance to see it.
9:26Oh, Paras, I was so caught up in all this chaos
9:28that it completely slipped my mind.
9:32Come on, I'll show you.
9:35Let's go.
9:36Go ahead, dear. Go. Have a look.
9:43Aftab?
9:44Son, please have Paras bless the sacrificial goats
9:48we've brought for charity,
9:49and tell Nabi Bakhsh to have them slaughtered
9:52and the meat distributed to the needy today, alright?
9:54Alright, Mom.
9:56Shall we?
10:02Brother, I was so worried
10:05that I offered special prayers.
10:08I promised seven goats as a sacrificial offering.
10:11I brought them over as charity for Paras's safe return.
10:41Paras.
10:43Mind the stairs.
10:57So, what do you think of the changes?
11:05I'd love this place even if it were dark and overgrown,
11:10because my mom used to live here
11:12and my dad still does.
11:15This is where I want to stay.
11:17It's my home.
11:24Have you ever been in love?
11:28Of course you haven't. How could someone like you love anyone?
11:33I know that when you fall in love,
11:37you can't bear to be apart from them.
11:39You just want to be by their side.
11:43That's why I can't bear to leave my dad or this house,
11:47and that's why I came back.
11:52By the way,
11:54besides your parents, have you ever loved anyone else?
12:04Of course.
12:05If I had any siblings, I would've surely loved them.
12:12You know,
12:16it's entirely possible to fall in love with a cousin as well.
12:24It's possible.
12:26On the condition that the cousin isn't anything like you.
14:21Enough is enough.
14:27I won't let you go anywhere now.
14:33You'll stay right here, by my side.
14:39I'm worn out by the distance too.
15:05Greetings, sir.
15:07Come in, Sikandar.
15:09How are you doing?
15:11I'm doing well, sir. Thank God.
15:15Would you like something to eat or drink?
15:16No, sir.
15:18Your guests are usually treated to refreshments before meeting you, anyway.
15:24Sikandar, did you find out who was behind my daughter's kidnapping?
15:29I've explored every lead, sir,
15:31but no one seems to have the faintest clue who those people were.
15:35Sikandar, if something had actually happened to my daughter,
15:39would you still give me that same answer?
15:43According to my investigation, sir,
15:47this doesn't bear the hallmarks of any of your enemies.
15:51So, are you implying that
15:56it was one of my own loved ones?
15:58That's not what I meant, sir.
16:00They were just street thugs.
16:01They likely targeted a wealthy girl alone on a deserted road.
16:04If this had been orchestrated by an enemy,
16:07the kidnapping attempt wouldn't have failed,
16:09and you know that as well as I do.
16:12The kidnapping failed because of Zawar Bakht.
16:19Any news on him?
16:21Sir, word is that Zawar Bakht hails from Sukkur.
16:26He was a decorated police officer
16:28who cracked several cases,
16:31but he resigned from the force a while ago
16:33and now works for a private security firm.
16:39His father is a small-time landowner
16:42because the rest of their land was seized by Zaryaab Sulangi.
16:57What are you thinking, sir?
17:04You said he was in the police.
17:07So why did he quit?
17:08Principles.
17:09He's not the type to bow down.
17:11He recovered lands rightfully owned by local farmers from Zaryaab Sulangi,
17:15who then used his influence to push for Zawar's suspension.
17:20Zawar simply resigned before they could strip him of his badge.
17:25His family?
17:27His parents and a sister live back in Sukkur, sir.
17:30Zawar lives in Karachi for work and is unmarried,
17:34and his father, Aijaz Bakht, was also a police officer.
17:37Now he manages what little land they have left.
17:42Aijaz Bakht?
17:44Yes, Zawar's father.
17:47Zawar is Aijaz Bakht's son?
17:52Yes, sir. Let me show you a family photo.
18:09My hunch was spot on.
18:15He is indeed Aijaz Bakht's son.
18:22Sir, do you know Zawar's father?
18:33No,
18:36I don't know Zawar's father.
18:43I know my dear friend, Aijaz Bakht.
19:00It's been so many days since Zawar left.
19:04He didn't even visit.
19:06Plus, he only called twice.
19:10Your golden boy must be displeased with you.
19:13Displeased?
19:15Why would he be displeased with me?
19:17What did I do? I haven't said a word to him.
19:20Your biggest offense is being the wife of his adversary.
19:25Zawar's dad, stop it.
19:26Don't talk like that.
19:29He loves you very much.
19:32Mom, Dad, please.
19:34His son is his whole world.
19:37I admit, his way of thinking is just a touch different, that's all.
19:44Listen to me.
19:45Why are you both so skeptical of Brother?
19:48He just started a new job.
19:50He used to be in Sukkur before,
19:52so he could visit from time to time.
19:54Now it's tough.
19:56Or it could be that he doesn't even get Sundays off, Dad.
19:59What then?
20:01I wonder what kind of job it is and if it's even any good.
20:04I hope he's actually settling in.
20:07He was utterly obsessed with his previous job.
20:10He'll come around to this one too, Mom.
20:12You'll see.
20:14Brother knows how to take command of any situation.
20:16Whether it's a job or life itself.
20:19He just couldn't quite win Dad over.
20:24What did you say?
20:26Nothing, Dad.
20:28Your brother is far too hot-blooded.
20:30He always picks a path directly opposite to mine.
20:33If I lecture him, it's only out of love.
20:41But he just doesn't see that.
20:43He's always rolling the dice with his life.
20:45Now he's providing security for high-profile people.
20:49What was the need to gamble with his life for others?
20:54Because he's fearless.
20:56He knows that death is inevitable,
20:59so why not live with courage?
21:05Let me go check on the girls and see
21:07if they're actually working or just chattering away.
21:10Our daughter is very astute.
21:13She's set out to transform the future for all the village girls, along with her own.
21:18Your son is very astute too.
21:24You just need to have a little faith in him.
21:35Aftab,
21:38how far along is your investigation?
21:45Investigation?
21:51What investigation?
21:54You were supposed to track down Paras's kidnappers.
21:59You already know what the truth is.
22:05Aftab, at least get some paperwork done.
22:08Brother will want to see something when he asks.
22:11He's already investigating it himself.
22:13Thank God, no one knows anything.
22:17Mom, why did you have to bring that up?
22:21You put me on the spot for no reason.
22:24Oh, really now?
22:26Why did you have to pull that stunt in the first place?
22:29Do you have an answer for that?
22:35You're as reckless as your father.
22:38Please, Shaheen.
22:40Why are you pinning everything on me?
22:42I'm not as foolish as you think.
22:46This was all your son's doing.
22:48If he'd only consulted me,
22:50we wouldn't be in this predicament today.
22:52Oh, please.
22:55I never intended to harm her.
22:58The plan was simply to have her kidnapped and then rescued. That's it.
23:02I just wanted to get into Uncle's good books,
23:07and Paras's too.
23:11You don't need to worry about winning over Uncle.
23:15I'm here for that.
23:17What matters is that you focus on winning Paras over.
23:22That's going to be a tall order.
23:24Her arrogance puts even her aunt to shame.
23:29What are you looking at me for?
23:32Try to mold yourself to her liking.
23:38Right.
23:41What kind of guys do you think she'd go for?
23:51Do I have to spell everything out for you?
23:54Come on.
23:56See?
23:57I told you.
24:00He takes after you completely. He's just as foolish as you are.
24:11The spoiled princess of a wealthy father.
24:15You must've heard the type.
24:17She was exactly like that.
24:18Whatever the case, she went too far.
24:21She shouldn't have been so ungrateful,
24:24especially at such a critical moment.
24:26You risked your life for her sake.
24:28People like her don't value other people's lives.
24:32You must've heard the name Mir Behzad Shah.
24:35She's his only daughter.
24:38Raised in the lap of luxury,
24:40living in a fortress of a house.
24:43People like that couldn't care less about someone's sacrifice.
24:45You're right.
24:47There's hardly anyone more powerful in real estate than Mir Behzad.
24:50To reach that level of dominance,
24:52one doesn't hesitate to blur the lines between right and wrong.
24:55Indeed.
24:56I'd only heard stories before, but now I've witnessed it firsthand.
24:59Just let it go.
25:00Her father made her apologize, didn't he?
25:04What good is an apology like that?
25:05Do you think she felt even a shred of remorse after uttering those words?
25:08It's just a hallmark of the privileged.
25:10They trample all over you,
25:12and then casually toss a sorry in your face.
25:15She did the exact same thing to me.
25:18Sorry. Just like that.
25:23Was she beautiful?
25:26I mean, pride and arrogance usually suit the beautiful ones.
25:29All that pride and beauty would've been for nothing
25:32if I hadn't arrived in the nick of time.
25:36May God keep me grounded.
25:39I haven't done anything extraordinary.
25:42Anyone in my place would've rushed to save her.
25:49But what she did was quite beneath her.
25:52I'm just grateful her father saw through her lies.
25:56Otherwise, God knows what they would've done to me.
25:59Oh, come on, don't stay bitter.
26:01No one can touch you.
26:03You've got belts of every color to defend yourself.
26:09If she ever crosses my path again,
26:11I'll toss her to the wolves myself.
26:54Looking sharp!
26:56Where are you headed?
26:58Oh, stop it. I'm going to the office.
27:00Alright, I'm coming with you.
27:01What will you do there? You'll just get bored.
27:05I'll just look at you.
27:06How could I ever get bored of that?
27:08You really are quite handsome and dashing.
27:11I'm sure the ladies must be falling at your feet.
27:12Have you no shame?
27:17Where are you picking up all this cheek from?
27:19I was away from you for so long.
27:21That's why I've changed.
27:23Now that I'm back, I'll be the perfect daughter.
27:26You're already a wonderful daughter.
27:29Anyway, I was thinking we should go somewhere nice for dinner.
27:32You'll take me out,
27:34and then we'll explore all of Karachi.
27:36Excuse me, you were born here,
27:38and you've seen every corner of this city.
27:41Well, who actually cares about the city?
27:43I just want to spend time with you.
27:46So, tell me, deal or no deal?
27:47The choice is yours.
27:49There's something I don't understand.
27:50Mahrukh is so guileless.
27:53Where are you picking up these crafty tricks from?
27:55I already told you, it's because I was away.
27:59Now that I'm home, I'll behave.
28:01Alright, then, it's settled.
28:04You go to the office,
28:05and I'll make a reservation at a nice restaurant.
28:07We'll have dinner together,
28:10and then I'll celebrate your and Mom's wedding anniversary.
28:20I don't celebrate anniversaries anymore.
28:24It was on this very day that she left me forever.
28:29After all, she arrived in your life on this very day as well.
28:33Besides, Dad,
28:35joy is far more significant than sorrow.
28:37It's worth celebrating.
28:40So, we should at least go out for dinner today.
28:44Alright, but let's not go out, please.
28:48Oh, come on, Dad. Please? Pretty please.
28:50It's only for one dinner. Pretty please?
28:51Paras, you know what's happened recently.
28:54Nothing at all happened. Look at me.
28:55I'm standing right in front of you, healthy and strong,
28:57and as long as you're with me, I'm shielded from everything.
29:00Besides, when we go out for dinner,
29:02your entire security detail will be there too.
29:03Nothing could possibly go wrong, then.
29:06Please?
29:07-Fine, I give in. -Perfect.
29:11You're quite the arm-twister.
30:02You sent for me, sir?
30:06How did the jeep get into such a wretched state?
30:11Sir, there was an altercation on the way.
30:14I'll cover the damage to the vehicle.
30:16You can deduct it from my next paycheck.
30:18This isn't about the repair costs.
30:19It's about your recklessness.
30:21I was informed this mess occurred because you attempted to foil a kidnapping.
30:27You certainly keep your ear to the ground.
30:31Yes, sir.
30:32-That's precisely what happened. -Well? Did you save her?
30:37Have you ever stopped to think, Zawar,
30:39if something had happened to you in that brawl,
30:42what a devastating loss it would've been for me?
30:46I turned down four commandos just for you.
30:49Four elite commandos.
30:50How could I have called them back once I'd already passed on them?
30:52You were on the clock.
30:54Your sole responsibility is the protection of our clients,
30:57not getting embroiled in these stray heroics.
31:00Why did you do it?
31:02Sir, if a girl was being kidnapped right before your eyes,
31:06what would you have done?
31:09Would the thought of your own sisters or daughters
31:10not have flashed through your mind?
31:14Sir, if I were merely an ordinary citizen,
31:17perhaps I would've looked the other way.
31:20But in my heart, I'm still a lawman.
31:24I have the training, the strength, the nerve,
31:29and I know exactly how to protect people.
31:32At that moment, I had the means and the opportunity.
31:36I simply could not stand by and watch without intervening, sir.
31:40Perhaps you're right,
31:42but regardless of your perspective, I won't tolerate such conduct again.
31:47I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir,
31:50but if a similar situation arises,
31:53I won't hesitate to step up once more.
31:58Anyway, you're being assigned to protect a VIP now.
32:03Their details will be sent to your phone shortly.
32:06Reach the location with your team.
32:09This company requires your valor and spirit for our operations,
32:13not for outside escapades.
32:16You're dismissed.
32:39Zawar, from Mr. Chauhan's security agency.
32:42Pleased to meet you, Zawar.
32:43After you, please.
34:16I can't put into words how happy I am.
34:19I'm just so thrilled that you're here with me.
34:22I've always wanted us to stay together,
34:24but you're the one who keeps pushing me away.
34:26Oh, come on. From now on, you'll be staying right by my side.
34:30I have major trust issues.
34:31I can't trust a single word you say anymore.
34:33I'm sure you're already hatching some plan to send me back behind my back.
34:36That's what you always do.
34:38Well, I'm not going anywhere.
34:41Mom has already left us, so please don't you leave me too.
34:44Paras, do you really think I'm doing all of this by choice?
34:49Believe me, I don't want to spend even a single moment apart from you.
34:53It’s just one small wish, Dad.
34:55I just want to be with you.
34:58I’ve been so unbearably lonely since Mom passed away.
35:02I need you.
35:03I need you right here with me, where I can see you and always keep you close.
35:10You couldn’t stop her
35:12because it was beyond your control,
35:15and if anything were to happen to me, you wouldn’t be able to stop that, either.
35:19Paras, for God’s sake.
35:21I’m just speaking the truth, Dad.
35:23There’s no one else in this world who can protect me but you.
35:26I need you.
35:31Alright, sweetheart.
35:32I promise I’ll be the one to protect you.
35:33Is that enough?
35:42Come on, Dad. Switch off your phone.
35:44Just give me two minutes.
35:45This is a very important call.
35:47Why don’t you go ahead and place the order while I take this?
35:50Please?
35:51Give me five minutes, and I’ll be right back.
37:29Hey, stop right there!
37:31What on earth are you doing here?
37:34Don’t tell me you’re back to kidnap me again.
